Welcome to the Abstract Scorecard,
the submission site for Breakout Sessions, Workshops and Roundtable Discussions
for the 2026 Sustainable Agriculture Summit.

SUMMIT OBJECTIVES

The Sustainable Agriculture Summit is the premier sustainability event for agriculture and by agriculture, serving as the trusted forum where all of agriculture convenes, strengthening the foundation that scales progress and ensures a resilient future. The Summit is hosted by the Innovation Center for U.S. Dairy® and Field to Market: The Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture®, in partnership with the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Poultry & Eggs, the Stewardship Index for Specialty Crops, MANRRS, and Agri-Pulse.

Designed to reflect the interconnected realities of the agriculture value chain, the Summit brings together varied perspectives and approaches to generate actionable insights and drive collective action across environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Through dynamic discussions and interactive learning experiences, the event explores critical topics such as climate action, water stewardship, soil health, farm and supply chain profitability, biodiversity, labor, animal welfare, food insecurity, responsible business goals, and topics of emerging concern for agricultural resilience. Summit organizers welcome stakeholder proposals that advance collaborative dialogue and deliver lasting impact for U.S. agriculture.

The Summit will be accepting proposals for three different session formats to engage attendees:

• Breakout Sessions
  Smaller sessions that allow Summit attendees to dive deeper into specific topics, engage in more intimate conversations, and explore ideas or challenges in a collaborative setting. Breakouts can feature panels, case studies, group discussions, lectures, etc. DURATION: 45 minutes
• Workshops
  Structured, hands-on learning or training sessions where participants engage in practical activities to develop skills, knowledge, etc. Workshops are often interactive and focused on specific topics or tasks, allowing for collaboration, feedback, and experiential learning. DURATION: 45 or 90 minutes (90 minute workshops will be held over back-to-back concurrent session rounds)
• Roundtable Discussions
  An interactive lunchtime conversation in the Networking Hall that brings together small groups to exchange ideas, share perspectives, and explore solutions on a specific topic. No formal presentation will take place. Each table seats up to 10 participants, including the facilitator, and seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. DURATION: 1 hour
